Condemning Others Is Like Picking Up a Live Wire - Florence Scovel Shinn

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn.


Don't Condemn Others

Jesus Christ said, "Condemn not lest ye also be condemned."


"Judge not, lest ye be judged."


Many people have attracted disease and unhappiness through condemnation of others.


What man condemns in others, he attracts to himself.


Her Husband Deserted Her for Another Woman

For example: A friend came to me in anger and distress, because her husband had deserted her for another woman. She condemned the other woman, and said continually, "She knew he was a married man, and had no right to accept his attentions."


Bless the Other Woman

I replied. "Stop condemning the woman, bless her, and be through with the situation, otherwise, you are attracting the same thing to yourself."


She was deaf to my words, and a year or two later, became deeply interested in a married man, herself.


Condemning Others is Like Picking Up a Live Wire

Man picks up a live-wire whenever he criticises or condemns, and may expect a shock.

There Is No Loss In Divine Mind She denied loss, taking the affirmation: "I deny loss, there is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore I cannot lose that pencil. I will receive it or its equivalent." Several weeks elapsed. One day she was with a friend who wore about her neck on a cord, a beautiful gold pencil, who turned to her and said: "Do you want this pencil? I paid fifty dollars for it at Tiffany's." The woman was aghast, and replied (almost forgetting to thank her friend) "Oh! God aren't you wonderful! The silver pencil wasn't good enough ...
